You're not making much sense, you just from Biafran war to BH to ACF all with different timelines. Calm down son.

Let me explain this way. Ghana is one of the largest countries in West Africa, in terms of population, with 28 million people and recently had a new president. The Igbos are a tribe of over 40 million people. Now as an Igbo man, I am wondering why I have to go through a Yoruba or Hausa man before I elect my leader? Because we are 'one Nigeria'? Who made us one? Lord Lugard the British thief? I think the loss of GEJ was a stark reminder that Igbo sovereignty is being stolen in the name of Nigeria. How can people still be dictating to a tribe of over 40 million people who their president will be? As an Igbo man I am angry, but not because GEJ lost, but because I know that I should not be in the same country with Yorubas and Hausas still dragging who will be my president

Mr tribalism kills. that thing u are happy is happening to ur neighbor can happen to u tomorrow, d difference wud be how the both of u reacted to it.
just one armed robber with a knife is robbing ur neighbor and he or she is shouting for help instead of u to go and help u turn a deaf ear and start sipping tea maybe ur neighbor saw u outside dat was y he called for ur help but u ignored him, don't be surprised that another time if dat robber comes and yr neighbor is armed with weapons and guards if u shout for his own help too instead of him to use his gun to save u he wud donate it to armed robbers or throw it away.
nobody knows tomorrow.

Interesting.

Election they say is a game of numbers. Alliances are needed to win any election in Nigeria. It is nobody's birthright to be voted any person or group. SW,NW,NC,NE, decided to vote for Buhari while SE and SS devided to vote for Jonathan, all these based on personal convictions.
While everybody seemed to have moved on, the Igbos are still angry with everybody that decided not to vote for Jonathan. Can somebody explain why?

fulanimafia:


Interesting, so all the chest beating has been reduced to nobody knows tomorrow. Sai Buhari.

lygn19:
anybody has noticed dat most of d igbo politicians who supported Buhari has turned mute over night.
They came up first with lines like igboz shud be patient when Buhari made his first 15 appointments d lines changed to it doesnt matter where d person comes from as far as he or she delivers, Buhari made another 10 and they just kept mute and dissappeared...funny

QuotaSystem:
1. Their political infancy and myopia was exposed to the people they like to imagine they are superior to once again

2. The young destitute almajiri they insult have rendered them and their entire political class irrelevant, immaterial and expendable in Nigerian politics.

3. It exposed their hateful and bigoted nature when it comes to politics which has now made other tribes detest them, and hampers their chances of a much needed alliance which could make an Ibo President possible. Now that dream is all but completely destroyed.

4. The Yoruba again have been proven to be the most political sophisticated in the south once again through their alliance with the North which has blessed them with a VP, Speaker, Majority Leader, FIRS Chairman, Service Chief, Presidential spokesman etc. among many other political benefits like belonging to the ruling party which could favour them with regards to development....while the Ibos have nothing...

If na you, you no go vex?

lygn19:

I warned my people over der Blind support for Gej.
And der manner of attacks towards Buhari but I was branded a yoruba man.
But no matter what am still igbo, not only dat Buhari is president of Nigeria, we all want his government to suceed and d best for Nigeria, but if he thinks he is der to revenge people who wronged him, sorry for him.

lygn19:

fulanimafia I thought u shud know me by now am not a tribalist neither am I a chest beater.
If because ur brother is now in power and u brand me one no problem.

GabrielSuswam:
I have lots of ijaw friends who don't feel bad about Jonathan's exit....

The Igbos are so emotional and politically immature

PentiumPro:
While it's no doubt that they are adept in commerce, they are opposite of that in politics.
Now they are shouting Biafra because they believed either rightly or wrongly that the political competition in Nigeria is too stiff for them, so they will rather want to align with small and minorities groups in the south ( where they can always call the shots) to form their own country.

QuotaSystem:


Are you not the same people crying for the same quota system and federal character to be applied to appointments? Are you confused or just being hypocritical?

QuotaSystem:
[b]1. Their political infancy and myopia was exposed to the people they like to imagine they are superior to once again.

2. The young destitute almajiri they always insult has rendered them and their entire political class irrelevant, immaterial and expendable in Nigerian politics.

3. It exposed their hateful and bigoted nature when it comes to politics which has now made other tribes detest them, and hampers their chances of a much needed alliance which could make an Ibo President possible. Now that dream is all but completely destroyed.

4. The SS have been able to show political maturity despite their sons defeat, and are now more politically relevant than the Ibos especially after clinching the second highest number of appointments including the NNPC GMD, Service Chief, CBN Governor etc. and cornering the first major project of Buhari's administration, the Ogoni clean up. All after using the Ibos who are still bitter despite not gaining any projects under GEJ.

5. The Yoruba again have been proven to be the most political sophisticated in the south once again through their alliance with the North which has blessed them with a VP, Speaker, Majority Leader, FIRS Chairman, Service Chief, Presidential spokesman etc. among many other political benefits like belonging to the ruling party which could favour them with regards to development....while the Ibos have nothing...

There is no big deal about playing both sides like the SW has done.
Anybody can do it. There is nothing sophisticated about it.
Heck the SW have always been the opposition in the Nigerian politics of the past 16 years.
The fact that they just got a bit of a relevance in this sham govt is nothing special.
If the igbos want to return the SW back to opposition, it wouldn't be difficult.
All they just need to do is kiss some northern ass, reduce the vehemency of the biafra agenda and the status quo is restored.

Really? OBJ doesn't think so, the SW dominated the first half of this republic so far.

As for the North, the antics of the SE in the last elections will discourage any party from fielding an Igbo candidate because northerners will simply abandon the party for any party that presents a North/SW/SS collabo. This is the sentiment on the ground. The only person that might be able to break the jinx could be Rochas who is well loved and even has a chieftancy title from my place in the North.

wexyee:
lol. 40 million? U re not more than 20 miLlion

CSTR2:
Obj was not a southwestern candidate.
He won without their votes. He was a thorn to tinubu and most ACN stalwarts till today.
And yes, his govt was dominated by the east.
The east may not have produced a presidential candidates, but the various administartions have been dominated by igbo technocrats.
As for the north, they know where they bread is most buttered all through the decades. They see tinubu as an over-reaching fool and they just tolerate him for the sake of their interest and the fact that he is more or less their only friend in the south .
The moment the north get a viable option in the south, they would dump tinubu like a hot potato.
The saraki/ekweremadu emergence is a proof of that.
Who in his right mind will go for the SW bloc, when you can get the SE/SS and the perks that come with it..

QuotaSystem:


You have a good argument, but not totally convincing. The truth is the PDP will most likely go for a NW/Akpabio option if you observe the trends. The latter seems an intelligent politician though his past ties to Patience Jonathan and her husband might do him in.
